Coverage Banking/Group - Day in the life (REQUEST)*

Disclaimer: I am requesting for someone on WSO to submit a "Day in the life" post of thread.

WHY? --- I am currently working with HR to secure a move internally into coverage banking/into the coverage group in IBD (I am coming from MO, but with FO experience).

WHAT I WOULD LIKE ANSWERED ---

  1. What are your responsibilities?

  2. What does a usual day look like for you? (Hours, work load, used apps (excel, modelling etc)

  3. What is the pay like?

  4. Is there a difference between coverage banking and IB? If so, WHY CB over IB? (At my bank it's lumped into one CIB)

  5. Do you have any advice on how to prepare for a 1st year analyst role in CB?

  6. Any recommended books? Courses?

If this has already been done by someone on WSO please send me the link.

Many thanks.

SP
